Congrats! Amazing how demotivating a "non-running" car can get........although, that one's so purty, it'd be hard to imagine ever getting to that point on that one!

Thanks, and you are right. It was bugging me that i couldn't crank it.
Realized today that all that's keeping me from driving it is tires and fluids...won't be long.

Happy to help. This club has put up with 3700 post from me and given some great advice and help.
I don't see how you can stand to wait after ALL you have done. You are going to have to post a video of you cranking and driving it for us.

Just out of curiosity what was the name on the new pump?

Are you planning on cutting the rear fenders for flares? Just wondering. I guess that's why the opening looks funky due to the lift. Mine is cut out and the tire is in the center due to the cut wheel well. What size tires are you planning on running?

No, leaving as is. That shoved forward look is normal with the ome from all the pics I have seen.
Gonna run 33x10.5 km2

That's what I thought. Mine has been fine since I got it from Jacque. Hope to get a few years out of it. Got 35 out of the other one! lol

One year later
Project is one year old today...and almost driveable.
Funny how things circle back around. This time last year I was worried about getting the truck assembled in a month because I thought the shop was leased. Now, present day, signed a lease on the shop yesterday starting May 1, so I've got 3 weekends to get her driveable!

You should never make statements like that. They ALWAYS come back to bite me in the ass.

Very true. How bout this: All KNOWN wiring bugs are worked out.
Also found out the windshield wiper and blower motors are bad.

Much better. 
You sure about the windshield wiper motor? I made that mistake only to find out later that it gets wired "backwards". It's a ground that activates it, not a positive lead.

Replaced both clutch cylinders today. Works perfectly, shifts smooth through all gears. Tested 4WD...works great. Pretty pumped.
